[Interview] revamps with la Moss- Sept 2008

[Interview], now a Brant-owned property is ready to rock again. having had two warm-up issues with Marc Jacobs and Eva Mendes. The upcoming official revamp issue features la Moss. As creative director Fabien Baron said, they will be more fashion/art/cult oriented. With Baron's triumph record at Harper's Bazaar and VogueParis, and long resume in visual, magazine and fashion arena; plus teaming with Glenn O'Brian and the open-minded Peter Brandt; sounds like there will be blood in the U.S. press world from now on.
... On the other hand, Kate Moss has recently become the face for Yves Saint Laurent's new lip gloss Rouge Volupté. Is it not going to contradict her contract with Rimmel London though? Or is Rimmel's ad was strictly used in the U.K.? Who really can say no to the house of Saint Laurent though?
about Rouge Volupté
A lipstick should be comfortable. Present but not intrusive. Creamy, but not stifling. Silky, but not glossy. Matte, but a little brighter still. In short, everything and its opposite.
That is one that has everything to him. Carrossé in a case of gold rose slightly, the Rouge Volupté is expected to enter the pantheon of lipsticks. In addition to its packaging, very feminine, very Saint Laurent, cracks first for its appearance and texture. Its creamy touch liquefied in contact with the lips, making red flexible, but not baveux. It then flashes on its ten-eight shades of nude running the most purple-bodied, through a variety of roses, honey, brown and coral. The colors that dosent skillfully matt effect and "Glossy Film", a polymer having a mirror that reflects light. Latest information: a true scent of lipstick, UV filters, microspheres hyaluronic acid, an extract of his rice-eating… and a campaign carried out by Kate Moss. Fatale attraction.

A magazine #7 - curated by Kris Van Assche

Probably due to his Dior Homme designer status, otherwise, I don't think he's upthere to become A magazine's curator, not yet.
A bi-annual magazine was born in June 04. First issue was curated by no one other than the avant-garde master Martin Margiela. Yohji Yamamoto, Haider Ackermann, Jun Takahashi of Undercover, Martine Sitbon and Veronique Branquinho all followed suit. Now when it comes to issue #7, A magazine invites Kris Van Assche to expose his inspiration, collaboration, pov and personal liking to the world of fashion.
IMO, other than the 1st two seasons for his own label, I don't find Van Assche's ideas that interesting, on top, I can't stand his tricksy, gimmicky details (such as double collar, twisted collar, the ornated linear straps) which are really much ado about nothing for menswear. He, to me, is like Dirk Bikkembergs for the noughties with no integrity of fashion. Don't think I'm buying this issue since I'm not buying him, but for the next one for sure will be my must-have issue, reason? It will be curated by Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci ~ can't wait for that ...
